I am putting together a webinar in Zoom events that will include a number of short videos mixed among the live presenters. I don't see a way to cue videos for playing in Production Studio other than to screen-share them from a desktop. It would be much better to play the videos directly in Production Studio then to play them outside of Zoom via screen-share. Am I missing something?

The other thing that I am hoping to do is to have overlays (for example, a transparent PNG) that I can show over an active speaker. I see the possibility of creating a scene in which a speaker is overlaid onto a background screen, but what I am looking for is the equivalent of a television chyron or lower-third. Is that option somewhere I am not seeing it?

Thanks for your help.

UPDATE

I've found out that the Custom Offer functionality is now Generally Available.  Contact me if you want to know more.

In today’s (October 21, 2024) Zoom Events Release Notes, there are two items that indicate “New or enhanced features” relating to the long-anticipated Custom Offer functionality. The Custom Offer functionality allows a host to provide potential registrants a special code to claim a percentage discount on a ticket or to access special ticket types not available to the general public.

I’ve been on the beta program for this feature for over two months now, and I think it’s something many Zoom Events producers are looking for.

The problem I have is that this was announced in the August and September release notes, but in both cases, this was pulled from these releases.  Unfortunately, the October release notes don’t mention the inclusion of the original feature set (just the two enhancements to it), and I’m hoping this is just a documentation oversight – otherwise, how could a modification of the feature be included here, right?

Since I’m on the beta program, I can’t tell which parts of the functionality are actually generally available.  If you’re interested in this feature and have time to check it out, I’d appreciate a reply here to let me know.

Feel free to reach out to me with questions or comments. 

Hello!

Please see attached screenshot. It is a mock up I made and shows my issue clearer than I can explain.

Goal: to not have two host videos seen by attendees when I choose the new screenshare layout option. How do I get rid of the small host video?

I have only checked this with (1) attendee, I am not sure if the view changes with more than (1) attendees.

Thank you for your brain power, in advance.

Hi, I'm conducting a webinar and want to:

a) present a few slides as host,

b) turn it over to a co-host to present a few slides

c) then have a panel of 4 people take over, with all 4 always on screen/video,

d) then take back over as host

Is this possible? How do I control the camera that way?  And if a host turns off mic and camera, do they still show up as a 'box' on the screen? 

We created a webinar and we wanted to see if we could share video and audio at the same time (we figured it would be easy since we've been doing the same with our zoom meetings) 

During the practice session we tried to share video but the option to share audio is not clickable. The only other option was to share computer sound (which was not what we wanted). When we would play the video, there's no audio being heard by the panelists or anyone else in the room.
